Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers

The causes of nursing home neglect and abuse are many, but the most common is probably financial. Many nursing homes, in an effort to make a profit, simply do not provide enough staff, or are grossly understaffed for the number of residents. The poor quality of service in many nursing homes may be due to the incompetence of the staff, the policy of the owners and managers or both. It is difficult to expose the neglect in nursing homes… often times much more so than in other areas of the health care system. In many cases, the nursing home abuse and neglect victims are not capable of speaking for themselves due to physical or mental disabilities. LegalGenius’ team of Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers can fight for you or your loved one.

Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

When you place a loved one in the care of a nursing home, you expect in no uncertain terms, that the nurses, doctors and other staff of that nursing home will make sure your loved one’s needs will be met and that they will be cared for with compassion and professionalism.

Unfortunately, neglect and outright abuse in nursing homes is all too common. Although many state and federal regulations have been established to protect the residents of nursing homes, violations of regulations, neglect and abuse occur in nursing homes every single day, compromising the health, well-being and dignity of our loved ones.
